Quick Hit: Stralman, Stapleton to play against NYI

During the post-game news conference following the shootout victory over the Rangers, coach Ron Wilson acknowledged that Jeff Finger and John Mitchell, injured during the game, are “99%” unlikely to play against the Islanders on Thursday.

To take their places, Anton Stralman and Tim Stapleton have been recalled.

“Tim Stapleton, we got him here after the first period because we knew that Mitchell was probably out for tomorrow,” said Wilson.Â “Stralman, we’ll be picking him up on the way to the airport.”
